I saw some salomon lords on the shelf of a local ski shop which was a sweet deal since it even included bindings for free. Has anyone tried these skis before?

What bindings do you get with them? I have a pair with salomon STH 12's which are nice bindings. I've only got to test them once but I absolutely love them. They're a good all mountain ski and are really fun to ski on. I don't think they'd be very good in park though.

no they are definately full twins. ive handled these skis before and they seem real legit. i havent gotten a chance to get on a pair yet, ive ridden the suspect, dumonts, and czars but am definately looking forward to it.

if your getting them with the sth14 your seriously got a winning combo. the lord will hold up in the park, but it is intended to be a all mtn ski.

It's not a full twin. Its more like the old 1080. The tail is turned up, but its only about 1/2 to 2/3 the height of the nose. And the rise is only over a short distance. I would call it a partial or semi-twin. And I am looking at them now because my dad owns them.

They aren't a full twin, more semi-twin as you said but they are soooo fun to ride and are sick!

So these skis perform well on the slopes, but will also hold up in the park? Im guessing these skis are probably good for me since im still a noob at the park but good on the slopes.
